Ingredients

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups almond milk (or milk of your choice)

1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups fresh peaches, diced (or drained canned peaches)

1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

1/4 cup brown sugar (for topping)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Optional: whipped cream or yogurt for serving

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper liners for easy removal.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure that the baking powder and spices are evenly distributed throughout the oats.

Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir until the oats are uniformly coated. Then, carefully fold in the diced peaches and chopped pecans (if you choose to include them) without overmixing.

Fill Muffin Tin: Using a scoop or spoon, fill each cup of the prepared muffin tin with the oatmeal mixture, ensuring each cup is filled about 3/4 full to allow for rising.

Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and the additional 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Once mixed, sprinkle this sweet, cinnamon-sugar topping evenly over the filled oatmeal cups for a delightful crunchy contrast.

Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the centers feel set when lightly pressed.

Cool and Serve: Carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the oatmeal cups to cool for about 5-10 minutes. Once they are slightly cooled, gently remove them from the tin. Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or yogurt for an extra delicious treat.
